Man gets 2 years in prison for school lunch bribery case

The former food services director for Lawndale Elementary School District has been sentenced to two years in prison for accepting at least $10,000 in bribes from a school lunch pizza vendor.

Arturo Macias Nuno, 32, was found guilty earlier this month of four felony counts of accepting a bribe, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. Authorities say he requested and took bribes that totaled at least $10,000 from Oct. 1, 2010, to July 31, 2012, from a now-defunct restaurant that sold pizza for school lunches.
